Characteristics . — The principal differences between this variety 

 and the species are as follows : The ventral glands are considerably 

 larger in the variety. The setae in the species are of about equal size 

 in the same fascicle. In the variety L. borealis the inner setae in the 

 lateral fascicles and the outer seta in the ventral fascicles are markedly 

 smaller than the other setae in the same fascicle. The width of the vari- 

 ety is about twice that of the species. The ventral anterior fascicles 

 contain one more seta in the variety.
